E talk say if we want do wetin Jehovah want, we need to always make peace with people. Jehovah de glad when we de try our best to make peace with our brothers. E no go accept our worship if we no gree settle any problem  with our brother or if we continue to vex for them inside our heart.—1 John 4:20.

5. Why e hard for Mark to make peace?

⁵ E fit hard us to make peace. Why we talk so? See wetin happen to one brother wey e name na Mark. * When another brother talk bad things about Mark for e front and still tell people for congregation, this one really pain Mark. Wetin Mark do? E talk say: “I really vex and I no even fit control myself.” But after, Mark regret wetin e do and e try to beg the other brother make they settle the problem. But the other brother no gree. The first time, Mark think for e mind say, ‘Why I even de try to settle with the brother if e no want make peace?’ But circuit overseer encourage Mark make e no tire. Wetin Mark come do?

6. (a) How Mark try and continue to make peace? (b) How Mark follow the advice for Colossians 3:13, 14?

⁶ When Mark really check the way e de think, e see say e no really dey humble and e de feel sometimes say e good pass other people. Mark see say e need to change the way e de think. (Col. 3:8, 9, 12) So e go meet the other brother again, and e beg the brother say make e no vex for wetin e do. E still write letter to tell the brother sorry and say e want make they settle the problem and be friends again. Mark even give the brother some gift wey e feel say the brother go like. But the sad thing be say, the brother continue to vex with Mark. Even with that one, Mark no stop to obey the command wey Jesus give say make e continue to love e brother and de forgive. (Read Colossians 3:13, 14.) Even when we try to make peace with other people and they no gree, love go make us continue to forgive them and continue  to pray make they change their mind one day.—Matt. 18:21, 22; Gal. 6:9.

7. (a) Wetin Jesus encourage us to do? (b) Which hard situation one sister face?

⁷ Jesus encourage us say make we continue to treat people the way we want them to treat us. E still talk say make we no only show love to some people because they go show us love back. (Luke 6:31-33) What if person for congregation de avoid you, and no de greet you? This example no de always happen, but what if e happen? This one happen to one sister, e name na Lara. The sister talk say: “One sister no de talk to me, and I no know why. The thing really pain me, and because of that one I no de enjoy meeting again.” When the problem first start, Lara think-am for e mind say, ‘No be my fault. After all, other people for congregation still notice-am say the sister de do somehow.’

8. Wetin Lara do to make peace, and wetin e example teach us?

⁸ Lara do something to make peace. E pray to Jehovah and decide say e go talk to the sister. E meet the sister, they talk about the problem together, they hug each other, and they make peace. Everything come be like say e don dey okay. Lara talk say: “But after, the sister do the same thing again. And I really feel bad.” Lara first think say before e go fit dey happy again, the other sister go need to change e character. But as time de go, Lara come know say the best thing to do na to continue to treat the sister with love and de ‘forgive from the heart.’ (Eph. 4:32–5:2) Lara remember say true Christian love “no de keep record of the bad wey people don do. E de bear everything, believe everything, get hope for everything, endure everything.” (1 Cor. 13:5, 7) Lara get peace of mind again. As time de go, the sister change. Make you try and do your best to make peace with your brothers and sisters, and continue to love them. If you do like that, you go fit dey sure say “the God of love and peace go dey with [you].”—2 Cor. 13:11.

9. According to Acts 10:34, 35, why e good make we no de do partial?

⁹ Jehovah no de do partial. (Read Acts 10:34, 35.) When we no de do partial, we de show say we be children of God. We go obey the command to love our neighbor as ourself, and we go continue to make peace with our brothers and sisters.—Rom. 12:9, 10; Jas. 2:8, 9.

10-11. How one sister stop to get bad feeling?

¹⁰ For some people e no dey easy for them make they no do partial. Make we see the example of one sister wey e name na Ruth. When this sister dey young, e get one bad experience with person from another country. How this one affect Ruth? E talk say: “Before, I hate everything about that country. I think say all the people from that country na the same, even the brothers and sisters.” Wetin help Ruth to change the way e de feel?

¹¹ Ruth come know say e need to fight that bad way wey e de think. E read the different-different experience and report about that country from our Yearbook. E talk say: “I try to think good things about the people of that country. I start to notice say the brothers and sisters for that country de use all their heart do the Kingdom work. Na that time I remember say this people too, them dey part of our family for the whole world.” Small-small, Ruth come know say e need to do more. E talk say: “Any time wey I meet brothers and sisters from that country, I de try my best to be good friend with them. I de talk with them and try to know them more.” Wetin be the result? Ruth talk say: “As time de go, that bad feeling disappear.”

12. Which problem one sister wey e name na Sarah get?

¹² Some people fit de do partial and they no know. Make we see the example of Sarah. This sister think say e no de do partial. After all, e no de judge people according to the work wey they get or their position for organization, how much money they get, or the place wey they come from. But, e talk say: “After, I come know say I really de do partial.” How e de do-am? All the people from the family of Sarah go school, and na only people wey go school Sarah de like to be their friend. One time, e even tell one of e friend say: “Na only brothers and sisters wey go school I de like make they be my friend, I de avoid the people wey no go school.” This one show-am clear say Sarah need to change the way e de think. But, how e go change-am?

13. Wetin we fit learn from how Sarah change the way e de think?

¹³ One circuit overseer help Sarah to check e self. Sarah talk say: “The circuit overseer greet me well for my fine-fine comment, e say I sabi Bible well, and say I hold Jehovah tight. Then e explain to me say, the more we de sabi things for Bible, the more we need to get better Christian character like pity, to know where our power reach, and to dey humble.” Sarah try to do the things wey the circuit overseer talk. Sarah talk say: “I come know say, the main thing na for us to dey kind and get love for people.” So because of this one, Sarah start to see e brothers and sisters for the correct way. E talk say: “I try to understand the fine-fine character wey they get wey make Jehovah love them.” What about us? Make we no ever feel say we better  pass other people because we go school! If we get strong love for our brothers “for the whole world,” we no go de do partial.​—1 Pet. 2:17.

14. According to Hebrews 13:16, how Jehovah de feel when we de do good for people?

¹⁴ When we de do good for people, e de really make Jehovah glad. (Read Hebrews 13:16.) Jehovah de see the good wey we do as part of our worship, especially when we help people wey need help. (Jas. 1:27; 2:14-17) So Bible encourage us say make we “no tire to always de do good.” (Rom. 12:13) When we de do good, we de show say we really care about people, we love them, and we want make they be our friend. Whether na biscuit, drink, food, or our time and love we share with people, e de make Jehovah glad. (1 Pet. 4:8-10) But some things fit make-am hard for us to do good.

15-16. (a) Why e fit hard for some people to do good? (b) Wetin help Edit to begin do good for people?

¹⁵ E fit hard us to always do good for people because of our condition, the place wey we grow, or how they train us. Make we see the example of one widow wey e name na Edit. Before Edit become Jehovah Witness, e no de like to dey among people. E feel say make other people de welcome and care for visitors.

¹⁶ After Edit become Jehovah Witness, e change the way e de think. E try e best make e de do good to people. Edit talk say: “When we de build our new Kingdom Hall, one elder tell me say one husband and wife de come to help us for the construction work. So e ask me whether I go fit allow them to stay for my house for two weeks. I remember how Jehovah bless the widow of Zarephath.” (1 Ki. 17:12-16) So, Edit gree say make they stay for e house. E get any blessing? Edit talk say: “They no  only stay with me for two weeks, they stay for two months! As we dey together, we become close friends.” Jehovah don still bless Edit with other close friends for congregation. E de pioneer now, and e de like-am make the brothers and sisters wey e de work with for preaching de come e house, so that they go spend time together. Edit talk say: “I de glad when I give people something! And the truth be say, I de get plenty blessing after.”—Heb. 13:1, 2.

17. Wetin Luke and e wife come notice after?

¹⁷ We fit don already de do good to people, but we fit do more? For example, Luke and e wife de like to welcome people come their house. But na only their papa and mama, family people, close friends, and circuit overseer and wife them de invite come their house. Luke talk say: “After, we come notice say na only our own people we de invite.” How Luke and e wife do more for the way them de do good for people?

18. How Luke and e wife do more for the way them de do good for people?

¹⁸ When Luke and e wife think about wetin Jesus talk, this one help them change the way them de think. Jesus talk say: “If wuna love the people wey love wuna, which gain wuna get?” (Matt. 5:45-47) They come know say they need to do like Jehovah. Jehovah de open e hand and give good things to everybody. So they decide say they go invite brothers and sisters wey they never invite come their house before. Luke talk say: “Now, all of us de really enjoy all this time together. This one de encourage us and de make us dey close to each other and Jehovah.”

19. How we fit show-am say we be disciples of Jesus, and wetin you don decide to do?

¹⁹ We don see say when we get strong love for our brothers and sisters, e go help us de make peace, we no go de do partial, and we go de do good for people. We must remove any bad feeling from our heart, and get strong love for our brothers and sisters from our heart. If we do this one, we go dey happy. And we go really show say we be disciples of Jesus.—John 13:17, 35.
